There were only four people in front of him, but the criminal space contained more than just those four. As he watched them lying on the ground, moaning in pain, Lin Yuan pondered that he hadn't actually been that rough with them. He squatted down and asked, "Who sent you?"
"Hah! Bai Ling, do you think you can defeat us this time? You’ll have your chance next time!" one of them spat defiantly. "Let me tell you, our Dragon Gang will never let you go!"
That sounded a bit familiar; it seemed like one of the troubles Bai Ling had encountered before. They were bold enough to mess with the police? Did they not want to be law-abiding citizens? To them, his words sounded like a joke.
If they were just a bunch of real punks, it would be one thing, but they were gang members—afraid of the police? What did they have to fear?
The leader among them fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan, mentally noting his appearance. "Don’t think you can threaten us like this. When our boss comes out, you're dead!"
That was quite a bold statement. Well, they could discuss other matters at the station. Right now, this could be considered an assault on the police.
However, once they arrived at the police station, Lin Yuan noticed that several officers were going about their business as if nothing unusual had happened. It seemed they were used to dealing with these individuals.
He approached one officer to inquire and discovered that these people were habitual offenders. Whenever Bai Ling was absent, they would cause trouble, but each time it was minor enough that they would only be detained for a few days.
These people didn’t even care about those few days in detention; they were just a bunch of idle troublemakers. The police could only detain them since their families didn’t impose any restrictions. Sometimes it felt quite helpless.
As for the Dragon Gang? "Don’t worry," the officer reassured him. "If they really had that capability, they would have come here to cause trouble long ago."
This statement eased Lin Yuan's mind somewhat. He had already informed Bai Ling about the two women involved, but he hadn’t mentioned the criminal investigation to Zheng Rufeng; he wanted him to look into what was happening on the ship first.
The person’s face wasn’t in the system either. Lin Yuan provided a video that was fairly clear, but even so, this butterfly identity remained concealed.
Was there no record? Perhaps they hadn’t registered their identity from the start. Lin Yuan had seen plenty of people like this before, and if there had been any cosmetic surgery involved later on, it would make things even more complicated.
Although most things today relied on technology, there were still some loopholes involved.
"If this is really a business discussion, why bring up that box?"
"What are you doubting?"
Bai Ling paused, looking at him.
"Is there a possibility that what we are guarding against has already entered the market? The other party might have made preparations on both sides."
"The item must be something that woman wants to bring in, but I don't have evidence yet," Lin Yuan said with utmost certainty.
"So you want to root her out?"
"It's not that simple. On the ship, the other party has left no handle for us to grasp unless we find the person. The situation is too vast in the market."
Lin Yuan would never arrest someone just because they hadn’t conducted business.
"That's a bit reckless."
"If the police don’t have solid evidence, we can’t take action. If we arrest the wrong person, the repercussions would be too great."
Considering public opinion, Bai Ling also meant for him to be cautious.
"What I'm worried about now is whether the item has already reached their hands," Lin Yuan said. "If that thing really spreads in the market, it’s hard to imagine how difficult things will get."
"How about this? I'll start monitoring the hotel where they are staying; after all, the item will eventually be disseminated."
"I'll send a few people to watch the surveillance. As long as anything suspicious appears, they can intervene in time."
"And what about that other woman?"
"The police can't trace her whereabouts, but I can give you full support to check the nearby surveillance."
Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with this outcome; at least they had managed to locate her.
In fact, this meeting wasn’t arranged by Mr. Fang. Qing She had her own considerations.
Her identity couldn’t be exposed so soon; since they had to make contact with the other party anyway, it would be better to switch to Butterfly.
Besides fighting skills, Butterfly also possessed another talent: disguise. Sometimes even she couldn’t recognize someone immediately; it was perfect for what she needed now.
"How's it going over there?"
Butterfly, who had rushed over from another city, glanced at her phone and then soaked her fair legs in the bathtub, answering lazily, "Once we see the item, their trust in us will increase."
However, I also mentioned that this time our commission should be increased by ten percent.
Hearing this, the Green Serpent frowned.
Didn’t we agree to stick to the initial commission? Increasing it like this will cause trouble for General Fang. He sits back and enjoys the benefits while we handle everything for him—why should we do that?
The Butterfly dismissed the concern, her tone lacking respect.
The affairs of Haishi shouldn’t even be my responsibility, yet I’ve been investigated. That system is useless; each of us gets so little from it.
Look at you—why are you hiding like a rat in a sewer? Isn’t it because you’re just a weakling?
She was right.
But the Green Serpent didn’t want to hear such words.
If we offend General Fang, we’ll have no one to back us up. Do you think we could come up with that massive funding chain ourselves? And those taxes—do you think others are fools?
If they increase the price like this and General Fang finds out, he could really take drastic action.
For both of them, it was merely a matter of mutual benefit; there was no room for sentimentality.
The Butterfly fell silent.
Fine, I’ll give you that layer of commission, but don’t let General Fang notice anything unusual in your transactions.
All their cards were managed by General Fang’s office, and there were dedicated personnel handling the taxes; otherwise, they wouldn’t have lasted this long.
I understand. What’s next? Do you still need me to handle things for you?
The man beside that woman isn’t easy to deal with.
She could sense the murderous intent from him; the Butterfly had killed before, but this man was clearly not ordinary.
No one starts at the top; they too gradually began to expand overseas.
That Shangguan Yao and her family must be related to the Shangguan clan that fled abroad—you remember how they were expelled, right?
The Butterfly nodded in agreement.
Rather than being expelled, it was more like they slinked away with their tails between their legs; after all, the laws in this country are quite strict.
If they hadn’t fled back then, those from the Shangguan family would have faced several bullets and ended up dead in a ditch.
